PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Tays (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rozafa Arben (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Arben has chosen P.O.D. - The Messenjah as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Rozafa Arben was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
